Following on from the thread about CS characters tv and netflix choices, I started wondering..... If there was a TV adaption of the CS series, who would play the various characters, or what would they look like?

I imagine Nell Wilson to be rather like Stephanie Cole as she was in 'Tenko', with a similar personality.

I wish I could find the Mumsnet posts on this, because they were doing a fantasy CS casting. Michelle Dockery was suggested for Joey. She's got a beautiful singing voice, so she could pull it off. And that girl from GOT who plays Sansa Stark could be Len, maybe? Or is she too ginger?

Yes, I like the idea of Stephanie Cole as Nell. Might Zoe Wannemaker suit one of the characters? I’m bad with reading the physical descriptions in the books, but feel she’d be good character wise for a couple of people.

Eek, I think Zoe Wanamaker would work far better as Nell than Stephanie Cole!

Actually, I just remembered I don't look at this thread because I have discovered my ideas don't really tie in with any else's

In Three Go she has 'short fair plaits' which means blonde to me - not in the same league as Wanda, Marie etc though. Her hair does turn to brown later.

At that time 'fair' was the polite term for 'mouse'. I had what everyone called 'fair hair' as a child, but could never have been described as blonde.
